Gaziantep’s Celebration Soup (Yuvalama Çorbası)
It's hard to find words to describe the devastation of last week's earthquake in Turkey and Syria. It's a strange feeling... just going about your normal day, knowing so many cannot, but as just an average person, being unable to really do anything about it. Pretty much every time I feel this feeling, I channel... Continue Reading →
Ginger-Garlic Meatballs in Coconut Broth
We've now made this twice in two weeks. It's a pretty easy addition to the weeknight rotation, despite seeming to me to be a little fancier at first glace. It gives off nice Thai-ish flavors and other than the lemongrass, uses ingredients we generally have on hand. Ginger-Garlic Meatballs in Coconut Broth (Adapted from Smitten... Continue Reading →
Chinese Turnip Cake
Last year our attempt at a Chinese feast for Lunar New Year was a little bit of a flop. I made Lion's Head Meatballs and just didn't get it quite right. The meatballs were good, but the broth was very bland and the cabbage was a little unwieldy. We'll try again one day, but this... Continue Reading →

In addition to being very busy with the rest of our lives, we've also become a lot more picky with the recipe we save and share... Continue Reading →
Tahini Honey Chocolate Chip Cookies
Bold move to mess with a classic. A lot of people would argue that you should just leave classic chocolate chip cookies alone, and I don't disagree with them. [See our house Chocolate Chip Cookie!] But I feel like this are less of a chocolate chip cookie that got some other stuff added to it,... Continue Reading →
Brown Butter Turnips
Six Seasons by Joshua McFadden is a cookbook we keep coming back to again and again, after discovering it during our Cookbook Club adventures. This recipe in particular, we've made a few dozen times. We initially tried it after getting some radishes, which is what the original recipe uses and a vegetable we don't often... Continue Reading →

Elotes Italianos
Got excited to make some elotes tonight, as part of our Fourth of July weekend grilling, but turns out we didn't have the cotija in the fridge like we thought. Our improvisation led to making this corn in the style of Mexican street corn, but with the flavors of Italy. Turned out just good enough... Continue Reading →
